c.c.s where did you get yours from mate..ideally i want the 20ft one with the ability to add a 5ft section like you do. i agree the problem with the slx is there never in stock i did hold back a few weeks ago as apparently they were due in very early july but got told today its more like the end of july now, my old one snapped the other day so cant wait that long.. i'm sure this is a headache for gardiners too.
i bought a 40ft one for £540 incl vat, i really like it, ive taken most of it apart and use about 25ft of it, for 3rd storeys, etc. i dont use it constantly as its a bit too long compressed, and i dont want to wreck it. plus a 13' extel pole is only £60 and quite light anyway.lovely quality though,
the collapsed length is not much different to slx , its a fantastic pole i have the 35ft elite fitted with the gardiners xtreme brush great combo , i mostly use it as a 25ft pole very light and rigid in a comparision not long ago the SLX and ELITE were very close in rigidity , been using mine over 2 months now and no complaints at all , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
anyone use one of these poles (25ft) are they any good plus what is the actual weight of it..cant be bothered to wait any longer for the slx gonna be another 2 to 3 weeks wait and really need a new pole now.cheers
